Reasonable
Further Progress Requirements for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient
Air Quality Standard
EPA is proposing to revise its earlier interpretation of its rule
regarding requirements for Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) that
allowed certain emissions reductions from outside the nonattainment area
to be credited toward meeting the RFP requirements for the 1997 8-hour
ozone national ambient air quality standards. Specifically, the EPA is
proposing that States (the District) may not take credit for emission
reductions from outside the nonattainment area to meet the area's RFP
obligations. Staff will discuss the impacts to the Coachella Valley
ozone RFP demonstration from the proposed EPA revision.
